Watch: Steph Curry drills signature no-look 3-pointer in Olympics vs. Serbia

Steph Curry brought the no-look 3-pointer to the Olympics.

Fans of the NBA, especially the Golden State Warriors, have seen it many times: Stephen Curry looking away from the ball and running back down the court as it sails through the air before it swishes through the net.

The lookaway 3-pointer, the no-look shot, whatever you want to call it, but it’s something a shooter of Curry’s caliber only dares to do. It’s become a signature move for the two-time Most Valuable Player.

On Sunday morning, Curry broke out the no-look jumper for the first time in the Olympic Games. In his Olympic debut, Curry began to jog back down the court before his 3-point attempt fell through the bottom of the rim. The shot sent the French crowd into a frenzy. Curry’s teammate, Kevin Durant, was celebrating on the bench.

Via @TheWarriorsTalk on Twitter:

Curry finished his first Olympic game with 11 points on 4-of-8 shooting from the field to go along with three assists and three rebounds in 21 minutes during USA’s win over Serbia, 110-84.

Watch: Steph Curry scores first Olympic points with signature 3-pointer

Stephen Curry got on the board in the Olympics with a signature 3-pointer in the opening minutes against Serbia.

While he’s worn red, white and blue on the floor for the FIBA World Cup and their recent run of showcase games, Sunday morning marked the official debut of Stephen Curry in the Olympic Games with Team USA.

For the first time in his career, Curry made an appearance in the Olympics for Team USA in their opening game of the group stage against Nikola Jokic and Serbia.

While the Team USA starters opened the game cold, falling down 10-2 to Serbia in the opening minutes, the Golden State Warriors point guard provided a little spark with his signature long-distance jumper.

Steph Curry leads Team USA past Serbia with 24 points in showcase game

Steph Curry dropped a game-high 24 points in Team USA’s dominant victory over Serbia.

After an uncharacteristically quiet performance against Australia that saw him shoot 1-of-6 from deep, Stephen Curry got back on track in a big way during Team USA’s showcase game against Serbia on Thursday morning in Abu Dhabi.

In a battle against Nikola Jokic, Curry caught fire for a team-high 24 points in Team USA’s 105-79 win over Serbia. Curry buried six 3-pointers on nine attempts from deep on the way to 24 points. The Golden State Warriors point guard added three rebounds in 21 minutes.

Watch highlights from Curry’s performance via YouTube:

Anthony Edwards and Bam Adebayo added double-figure scoring numbers off the bench in Team USA’s third straight win before the start of the Olympics.

Jokic tallied 16 points to go along with 11 rebounds, two assists and a steal in 28 minutes against Team USA.

Curry and Team USA will now travel to London for another pair of showcase games, which will start on Saturday against South Sudan. On Monday, Team USA will play their final tune-up game before the start of the Olympics against Germany in London.
